I've been playing with Alchemy again a bit lately, again, mostly because it's so fast for me to make stuff with that I half-like.

If you're thinking of playing with it too, the version of Alchemy that I'm using is this one: [link] , which has an UNDO ability, as well as a ZOOM, both of which can be handy. Though slightly less powerful in what it can do, if you want to take a quick test run of the program without a download, there's now a web-based version as well, that can also be run on your smartphone, apparently: [link] Check out this video to see it in action: [link]

And if you are thinking of downloading Alchemy, feel free to download and use my new custom shapes pdf: [link] Just download it, make/ name a new folder to put it in, and drop that folder into the Alchemy "Shapes" folder, and you should be able to find it in the program's Pull Shapes drop-down list. It's my first real go at making shapes for the program, so it's got its problems, but it essentially works alright enough.

All-in-all, once you find some settings you like, I find Alchemy to be a fun, quick and really easy-going program with which one can pull out some new ideas and creativity.

Down the pipeline of uploads, I imagine I'll throw in a few new Alchemy paintovers as well. I've been trying to make myself do non-Alchemy-based stuff, but simply haven't found the energy to do so lately... I'm supposed to finish a painting for charity sometime soon (read: two weeks ago), but that's going way slow. :/ I suck.

In other news, I HAVE been playing some Planetside 2 lately. I'm ozwalled, on the Waterson server (East Coast), and play for the red team (Terran Republic/ TR), so if you happen to have a computer that can run it and would like to play sometime, send me an in-game message, and if I happen to be online, we can squad up or something and shoot some people together. :P

Late reply, but thanks. Alchemy's a great little program, that I really wish more people used, since it's so much fun, and people can (potentially) have pretty much zero artistic skill, and still make cool images with it.

It really needs more exposure, somehow, so it can get more of the loves it rightfully deserves.
